The association has teamed up this year with Norco, Kona and Banshee to showcase some of the best performing mountain bikes on the market. This is a free, open event with no pre-registration. Just show up with your riding gear (helmet required), register at the BRMBA table, and take your pick of available bikes. Each bike test ride comes with one free shuttle to the top of the trails.

Demo day was conceived to generate interest in the sport of mountain biking and to boost the local bike industry. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 7, with parking available roadside above the orange gate on Socialist Valley road entering the Black Rock Mountain Bike Area.

In order to take out a demo bicycle, you must have a valid Drivers License or Identification for the vendors to hold for the duration of the test ride. Persons under 18 years of age will be required to have a parent or guardian’s consent and Identification. All persons participating in the event will be required to fill out a liability waiver.
